I joked with my doban that I had to read an entire book on color photography to take this shot; it’s not much of a joke, actually. I did read an entire book on color photography, but there was only one chapter on color shifts with aperture. I was practicing capturing the color of the autumn sky, and of three shots in a series this was the only one that captured the intensity of both the flower and the sky. *grin* I’m ridiculously proud of this shot, actually.
